Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to pay tribute to Mr. Hans Daigeler, who tragically died on November 9, 1995, at the young age of 50 years.
Hans represented the provincial riding of Nepean from 1987 to 1995. He was a very special man, whose basic goodness impacted on all of us who knew him. His loyalty to the riding of Nepean and its people was legion. This commitment permeated his community, his province, and his country through all his interventions in the Ontario provincial legislature.
I knew Hans well. He was both my friend and my provincial Liberal colleague. His memory will live on through the dignity, compassion and justice that he so personified. To his wife Beverly, his son Christopher, and daughters Elyssa and Amanda, I offer my heartfelt sympathy.
We will miss you, my friend.
